Ammon News - The Israeli occupation army intends to establish a new military division, dubbed the "Gilad Division," on the Jordanian border. The division is scheduled to operate from the tri-border area between Israel, Jordan, and Syria in the north, all the way to Ramon Airport in the south.

The Gilad Division, part of the Central Command, will begin initial operations on August 1 and later expand its area of responsibility, according to Times of Israel.

Times of Israel also added that Israel plans to upgrade its fence on the border with Jordan in the coming years.

The division was set to be staffed by standing army troops as well as members of new light infantry brigades based on volunteer reservists.

So far, the new volunteer brigades have recruited over 10,000 soldiers and commanders. Five brigades are planned, and they are based on where the soldiers reside.

In addition to operations on the Jordan and West Bank borders, the division’s members would also be ready to respond to sudden events in their respective regions.
